Haven't really seen any basketball movies...soo...Space Jam.

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

Blue Chips by far. I also liked Space Jam lol.

[Guest Kingpk]

So God Fucking help me, I LIKED BASeKETBALL!

 

But for a more serious movie, I'd say Hoosiers.

[Guest The Electrifyer]

White Men Can't Jump would be my favourite too. I also pick Space Jam just cuz of my loyalty to Michael Jordan.

[Guest]

BASEketball.

What, no love for "The Air Up There"?

[Guest Black Lushus]

He Got Game was good...Rick Fox taking Ray Allen to a room with two naked chicks that tag team him just to get him to go to that school, can't beat that...plus my man Denzel is in there, bonus points for that...

WINABI!!!

[Guest ant_7000]

Damn, I forgot about He Got Game I liked that also, that was good scene with Ray Allen fucking those two groupiees

[Guest Anorak]

He Got Game was terrible, it verged on the embarrassing at times. I gave up on Spike Lee for good after that garbage, after the intelligence of his earlier work how could he have made something so dumb? It would be a comedic masterpiece if the film was a parody, i thought i'd sat through the world's longest ever Nike commercial.

 

Good Basketball films:

 

Teenwolf (far less insulting than He Got Game)

White Men Cant Jump (If only for the dialogue in the opening third of the film)

Hoop Dreams (fascinating all the way through and as tense or gripping as any sports film)

[Guest converge241]

Blue Chips (personal fav)
